• Good evening, Lena, I have never written to an artist before, but when I saw your work online, I just had to contact you. There is a vibrance and yet, a joyful emotion in your work. I suppose it's not really work, but more of an expression of the depth of your emotions. Believe me, it shows! There are very few abstract artists whose pieces have spoken to me, but I do enjoy Dali, Picasso, and Kandinsky. I've never owned even a print of their work, but I feel very compelled to purchase yours. — J.G.

• I randomly stumbled upon your website and absolutely fell in love with some of your pieces... — T.W.

• Your work is absolutely amazing! ...For the record, your talent rivals many of great masters! — D.C.

• Lena, I am writing to say how much I like your paintings. The colours and application are very exciting. I have earned my living by my paintbrush for the last 54 years and have learned to appreciate the skill and dedication of other artists such as yourself. Never let anything stop you from painting, you have so much to offer. — D.

• I was randomly searching the internet for reference photos of things to draw/paint today and I came across your website. I must say I was very impressed, your use of color in amazing. I wish I fully understood color theory like you do. Anyways thank you for the inspiration. Keep up the good work. — P.A.
